he year under report has been a watershed in WISE’s evolution. Ever since our inception in 2004, Tit has been our dream to have our own building for our headquarters. In February 2007, our

dream began to take shape as we laid the foundation stone of our own premises in the same serene

surroundings of Kalyani Nagar, a few feet away from our previous rented location. The dream came to

fruition in April 2010, as we took possession of our new office. WISE had just turned six, and the

fulfillment of this dream—in such a short span of time—meant a lot for a not-for-profit institution

such as ours. What made it possible was the sheer hard work and dedication of WISE’s core team.

Institutions are not built up of cement, steel or mortar alone; its structures rise tall because of the

strong foundation laid down by its people, their hard work and perseverance, and of course, their skills

and knowledge. Our core team exemplifies all these.

Making our dream a reality did not divert our attention from our objective of furthering the development of sustainable energy

in India. During the year, our activities and clientele expanded across many more states and new areas of work. From

providing concept-to-commissioning support to wind power projects in Karnataka to taking up retainership consultancy for

renewable power start-ups in Kerala, WISE’s Centre for Wind Power provided multifarious services to the wind sector in

India, maintaining its position as the numero uno knowledge hub for wind power. Our Centre for Solar Energy (CSE) also

continued its vital role in the sector. CSE was appointed by the Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) to prepare a

Solar Road Map for Tamil Nadu—a first ever such roadmap to be prepared by an Indian state. They also worked as consultants

to the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and the Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA). During the

current year, WISE’s Centre for Climate and Sustainability Policy (CCSP) successfully completed the UKFCO-funded

project on preparation of ‘Clean Energy Technology Action Plans for Climate Mitigation’ for Rajasthan, Karnataka, and

Maharashtra. The Centre also undertook two other very prestigious assignments; one was for MNRE titled ‘Comparative

evaluation of incentives in the RE sector for evolving normative guidelines for revised incentives for renewable-energy-based

off-grid systems’, while the other was the preparation of a ‘Renewable Energy Action Plan’ for Bihar.

The youngest Centre in WISE is the Centre for Renewable Regulation and Policy (CRRP) which was set up in 2009. Its

progress within a short period of time has been remarkable. CRRP undertook a unique pioneering study on the implications of

achieving ‘15% green electricity by 2020’, with a focus on 12% by 2017, and this effort was supported by our new partners, the

Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation, New Delhi. CRRP also undertook many other important regulatory assignments, thus

positioning WISE as one of the few institutions in the country with extensive experience and expertise in the field of electricity

regulation and renewables. Our Centre for Training and Conferences (CTC–formerly known as Centre for Human Resource

Development) undertook several training programmes to support manpower development in the RE sector. They also

completed the landmark study on ‘Capacity building of six State Nodal Agencies in the country’—another pioneering

assignment given to WISE by MNRE and co-funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

WISE's Centre for Communications and Coordination (CCC–formerly known as the Centre for Communications), continued

publication of our flagship publication 'Green Energy', making quality improvements in the magazine and further extending

its reach across the globe. Besides undertaking information technology and public relations related activities, the Centre

played a critical supportive, advisory, and co-ordinating role in many of our other activities like conferences, training

programmes, workshops, projects, etc. Another Centre, WISE Press, brought out an important and comprehensive book on

solar development titled, A Solar Future for India. The book has undergone extensive research and work for over two years,

and hence finds immense value in today’s times.

As we complete seven years of our existence (end of 2010–11), we feel immensely proud when we look back and reminisce on

our growth and achievements. As always, during this eventful journey, we received tremendous encouragement from our

Chairman, the Governing Council, and the renewable energy sector in general. My sincere gratitude to all of them.

CORE ACTIVITIES

The Centre for Climate and Sustainabil ity Policy (CCSP) works in

coordination/collaboration with both central and state governments, as well as

private and corporate entities, and international agencies for carrying out the

following major activities :

• Preparation of state-level climate action plans

• Preparation of state-level RE action plans

• Policy research into the techno-economics of RE generation

• Policy research into incentives for RE power

• Training and capacity building

• Publications for policy dissemination

The various activities carried out by CCSP in 2010–11 are as follows.

PROJECTS

Completion of Clean Energy Technology Action Plans for 3 States—Maharashtra,

Karnataka, and Rajasthan

This major project was supported over a two-year period by the Climate Change and

Energy unit of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (UKFCO) and was duly

completed during the current year, with final submissions of the reports to the UKFCO

as well as the three state governments. As a further contribution to the development

of policy within the country, copies of the three Action Plans were also submitted to

both the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), and the Ministry of

Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India (GoI). Further, an abridged

version of the Action Plan for Karnataka was sent to the Chief Secretary/Environment

Secretary of all state governments to make available the methodological approach

followed by the Karnataka government; another small contribution in developing a

coherent response to the dangers posed by climate change.

Comparative Evaluation of Incentives to RE-based Grid and Off-grid Systems and

Evolving Normative Guidelines for Revised Incentives for Off-grid Systems

This project, under the ‘Access to Clean Energy’ programme of the UNDP, was

supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, GoI/United Nations

Development Programme (UNDP). The major objective of the project was to compare

the subsidies and support levels offered to grid-connected and off-grid technologies in

India, and suggest appropriate changes in policy support so as to equate this support

among the different RE technologies. The project also aimed at developing

appropriate mechanisms for accelerating the deployment of RE technologies in India.

Methodologically, the project takes a thorough look at all the support extended to RE

technologies in both grid-connected and off-grid modes. These span across RE

technologies in four areas; solar technologies in photovoltaic (PV), concentrated

photovoltaic (CPV), and concentrated solar power (CSP) modes, as well as rooftop PV

and micro-grids; biomass technologies in combustion and gasification as well as in off-

grid mode; small hydro technologies in grid-connected and off-grid modes; and

advanced biomethanation in grid-connected mode. The project computed the

current levels of support to these technologies and recommended the necessary

equation based on a rigorous systematic approach. Since it was probably the first time

that such an approach was being undertaken, the methodology had to be

simultaneously developed and applied to a large range of RE technologies in both grid

and off-grid modes.

The project is ongoing and will continue through 2011–12, following revision of the

methodology encompassing the range of technologies.

Renewable Energy Potential Assessment and RE Action Plan for Bihar

This project was awarded by the Department for International Development (DFID),

Govt of UK, following the process of competitive bidding. The objective of the project

was to conduct assessment of all RE resources in the state of Bihar and develop a

State-level Action Plan to enable the government to comprehensively develop RE

resources in the state.

The resource assessment included assessment of wind power potential, solar

potential in both grid-connected and off-grid modes, biomass and biomethanation

generation potential in both modes, and small hydro potential in the state. Based on

the available RE resources, the Action Plan had to recommend the necessary steps and

targets for various agencies, including development of policy and regulatory

and their implementation by state nodal agencies and utilities. Select

central agencies, banks, and RE companies were also invited to participate in the

exercise, as important roles were envisaged for them in the implementation of the

State Action Plan in the future.

The project activities are ongoing and will continue into the following year (2011–12).

Materiality of Rice: Learning Workshop

This learning workshop was undertaken by CCSP at the behest of the Centre for South

Asian Studies, University of Oxford, UK. In this unique workshop, academic

participants were involved in self-learning of the various economic and non-economic

methodologies recently developed across several disciplines. The participants

included senior economists and social scientists from the Oxford University,

Jawaharlal Nehru University, Madras School of Economics, and other institutions and

disciplines. The major methodologies taken up for self-learning included Life-Cycle

Analysis, Externality Analysis, Value Chain Analysis, and Technology Assessment. Rice

INTRODUCTION

There is a strong and urgent need to develop sufficient human capital and expertise in

the field of renewable energy. Investing in forward-looking education and training

strategies, while taking into account the urgent requirements of the RE sector, will

thus be an essential requirement for sustainable energy development. Ensuring a

skilled workforce for the RE sector is today an indispensable component of the policy

actions intended to meet our growing energy demand, and this should therefore be a

top priority policy issue in national energy policy strategies, particularly during the

current economic and energy crisis. The Centre for Training and Conferences (CTC) is

now geared up to meet this very objective by engaging in various capacity building and

training exercises, besides organising conferences and exhibitions in the RE sector.

CORE ACTIVITIES

• Organising training programmes/conferences/exhibitions/seminars that would

act as a catalyst in influencing policy decisions and bring about reforms to facilitate

development of renewable energy.

• Conducting in-house training for WISE personnel so as to enhance capacity

building and create core competencies within the organisation.

Some of the major programmes organised and/or conducted by the Centre during

2010–11 are as follows:

Commensurate with the first objective of WISE, namely ‘To be a premier outreach

centre for communications, information and knowledge transfer, in the fields of

sustainable energy, sustainable development and energy conservation’, WISE Press

seeks to publish books that are ‘agents of change’, books that promote sustainable

energy through increased understanding and practical know-how. Leading experts

with first-hand and continuing involvement with their topics of expertise are chosen,

by invitation, to write for WISE Press.

BOOKS

A Solar Future for India was published in February 2011. Conceived and edited by G M

Pillai, the founder Director General, WISE, the 650-page volume contains 36 chapters

contributed either singly or jointly by a total of 37 experts and two forewords, one

contributed by Dr Farooq Abdulla, Hon’ble Minister for New and Renewable Energy,

Govt of India, and the other by the late Hermann Scheer, German parliamentarian and

well-known solar proponent. Written to serve all those who will play a major role in

meeting the challenge to take India’s grid-connected solar capacity to 20,000 MW, the

book is about realising the vision of a new solar economy. In keeping with the

Institute’s mission to contribute to the growth of sustainable energy, A Solar Future for

India offers comprehensive and up-to-date information on all aspects of harnessing

solar energy—not only the 'nuts and bolts' but also a peek into the future, not just the

materials but also the human resources necessary to usher the solar future into India

and how to organise them into institutions, not just the economics but also ways of

financing solar development. The concern for sustainable energy goes way beyond

merely generating it: the book also covers aspects such as regulation and deployment,

a ‘smart’ grid that ensures efficient distribution of electricity, and end-uses such as

solar drying of farm produce, generating process heat for industrial use, and heating

water for domestic use, as well as producing potable water from brackish water using

solar energy.

The World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) is a not-for-profit institute set up in June 2004 to promote sustainable energy and sustainable development. In particular, the institution is committed towards addressing the shortcomings existing in the sustainable energy sector in India, viz. lack of policy support and incentives, lack of legislative and research support, lack of qualified manpower, and lack of critical awareness that would lead to the transition to a low-carbon, energy efficient energy-based economy. In April 2010, WISE shifted to its own premises, a six-storeyed office building located a few blocks away from its old building in Kalyani Nagar. This was a major milestone in WISE's career. Since its inception, WISE has pioneered several initiatives for accelerating the development of sustainable energy in the country. Some of these include:

• Drafting a model Renewable Energy Law for India and its advocacy. This effort gained wide national and international support, and in 2008, the Govt. of India decided to enact a Renewable Energy Law for India.

•

Undertaking major public policy initiatives for introduction of Renewable Energy Certificates, development of an innovative Solar Energy Policy for India, preparation of long-term RE vision documents for various state governments, research into repowering of old wind farms in India, etc.

• Providing consultancy support to some major state electricity regulatory commissions, and various renewable energy industries and investors, and assisting the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt of India, in certain key areas of renewable energy development in India.

• Conducting the first-ever study of ‘Human Resource Needs of the Renewable Energy Sector upto 2015’, and initiating various cutting-edge HR programmes for the renewable energy sector.

• Sensitising and training the media, financial institutions, and the academia across the country, to generate awareness among them about renewable energy, thus facilitating a conducive environment for its market expansion.

• Organising international conferences and exhibitions titled 'Wind Power India', 'Solar India', 'Climate Change India', and 'RE Regulation India', all of which were extremely successful.

The different centres and units of WISE function independently, yet work cohesively in the true tradition of inter-disciplinary learning, team spirit, and knowledge sharing. WISE is the only institution in the country to possess such expertise most essential to propel the country towards sustainability in the 21st century.
